Wellness Dog Food

Petco has a big sale on Wellness Dog Food this week. And since its on sale and it will be at a good price, why not try it? Has any one ever tried it? Do your dogs like it? And if we have the money we will buy each of the dogs their own formulas that suit them. Thanks

Wellness is one of the better foods. I tried it for my dogs, but it seemed to give them looser stools so i didnt keep them on it long. I know of others that use it and their dogs do well. So i think alot depends on the individual dog. It has an A+ rating on the dog food list.

Shelties as a breed tend to do very well on Wellness. I haven't fed it to my own, but a couple of people I have sold puppies to really like how their Shelties do on Wellness. So I have only heard positive things concerning it. The ingredients are great. It's one of the better foods you can get at Petco/Petsmart.

Thanks for all the replies. We went to petco today and bought the 4 lb. bag of healthy weight and the 4 free 6 oz. cans of lamb and sweet potato. We will try it for their dinner tonight, I hope they like it. But, OMG, the price, even on sale was crazy. This was kinda a treat for them. If they even like it.

I was wondering about this dog food as well. My dogs are currently on Solid Gold Wolf Cub, but is Wellness better? I am not sure whether to switch them over or keep them on what they are now. And is it necessary to switch dog foods every so often just to give them variety? I must have read that somewhere, but any information would be awesome. Thank yall!

I know Wellness is more expensive per pound than what I feed (Chicken Soup)... but the thing to keep in mind - especially if you're switching from a lower quality food, is that you're going to feed a lot less. Compared to say, Iams, you're probably literally supposed to feed 1/2 as much food with Wellness.

I had a friend who was raving about Diamond Naturals to me a couple of weeks ago. Chicken Soup is made by the same company. While talking she said "But I pay less "per bag" than you do and I think my dogs do fine on it considering that it's cheaper"... I then pointed out that she's paying $2-3 a bag less than I am and supposed to feed 1/2-3/4 a cup a day more... She's going through a 40 lb bag of food faster than I go through a 35 lb bag... So in the long run she's not actually spending less. We're spending about the same amount (or I'm spending less) and my dogs are eating a better quality diet.

If you opt to switch to Wellness permanently... you'll want to watch the weights on your dogs closely. What WERE you feeding? Make sure you take into consideration how much they recommend you feed on you old food verses on Wellness and adjust the portion sizes you're giving your dogs on Wellness (if you're switching from Iams or Nutro and try feeding the same amount on Wellness your dogs will be the size of small elephants in about 2 weeks :).
